Well, this is the first time that I see a Pokémon being killed by a human.
@NekoKira: Well, 'bout that one the bird was killed by a machine, not by a human so the conclusion is that the lawnmower was possesed by a ghost and that guy was so dub that he didn't noticed that mutant mummified monkeys were attacking London with an army so big that the Transformers ran away to Cybertron in addition to me getting a cookie. My point is that my explanation is plausible and I is smart 8D!

Just watch. A Ghastly will come by and haunt Atty with the corpse of the dearly beloved Catterpie...
And yes. According to volume one of the Pokemon Red manga, that IS cannon. They friggen beheaded an Arbok in that book!

burn in hellwell charmander would have made this comic page less sad if he could talk and say burn in hell beoch or better yet said in the last panel before he burned them he could of said iv had annov of these mother****ing catrpees in this mother****ing forest.

BattlerageI like to think that Atticus isn't actually trying to put out a fire here, but rather delivering the Coup de grâce to a wounded animal. That or stealing dragonthing's kill. . .
Atticus gained 17 experience points!
Atticus leveled up!
Atticus in now level 2!
Atticus learned Mean Look.

Wow, first a fire attack from Dragonthing and now a direct attack on the bug... Nice work. Caterpie, although it's cute in the series and stuff, it got SUPER annoying in the games when they showed up that they were only a tool to grind for level ups. Love the details as usual. ^_^ Keep up the good work, HOly!

I laughed at this too, that was amusing. Ah well though, there are many more great and epic pokemon out there that Atty could catch.^^ Although it would've been cool if he had butterfree^^. Then again Butterfree wouldn't be Atty's sort of Pokemon since he's a cool dude^^ XD

Pffft i feel terrible for loving this page,after it went into flames again atleast he put it out,it wouldn't be like Atti to care if the whoole forest burnt down,and we havn't sean much of his smart sde brcause of ignoramiose stubbernouse.

@juuhachi: Not true! Both the games and the anime make mention to Pokemon dying. Hell, every region thus far has had a graveyard specifically FOR the dead Pokemon. Which leads me to believe that if Atty makes it to Lavender Town, he's going to wind up at the tower where he'll encounter the ghost of a dead Caterpie. Which will be inexplicably on fire. (There's also Nuzlockes, where fainting=dying.)

Death in Pokemon GameWhen the game says "fainted," it means fainted. I don't know about the later versions of the game but in Red, Blue, or Yellow (don't remember which), I managed to get a game over screen, I was trampled to death in the Safari zone by Ryhorn. My brother managed to kill one of his Pokemon, but it's a very rare random event, like getting splash to work (it causes a tsunami and I've seen that exactly once, doesn't work ever in later versions of the game). Also there is a graveyard in the game.

Wow. It died. I was kind of expecting that, but the stomping... makes it look like hesquished it and it blew up. Although, if Atty really does want George to leave him alone, he could show her the caterpie he got burned. lol

XD they totally killed pokemon all the time in the manga. i was like DUDE?! seriously laughed out loud at this. simply brilliant. I'm not a fire or bug trainer, but kudos to the awesome and somewhat depressing awesomeness of this page. also- CONGRATS ON MAKING IT TO MEMEBASE!!! that face forever.

so if the eyes are darkeneda few pages back, DT saves Atticus from some of the pwi pwi monsters... he scratches one of em and I see a (X) EYE!!!
just thought I'd point that out leave people to wonder,
one caterpie when fainted had the X eye... (eye deformities? etc :)

Ah, collateral damage. Not a topic you see very often in Pokèmon, but it does raise a good point. Consider all the times you've used fire attacks in dense undergrowth. Earthquake in caves. Electric moves while underwater. This could be a whole lot worse...
